You are the big picture by andycoleborn

You are the big picture

Given that I was on my way home and looking for a picture, spotting the words "You are the big picture" opposite the Lloyds Building was too good an opportunity to miss..

Ordered a iphone4 today.... Comes with a free ipod shuffle. Should be here in a couple of days and I can't wait..

I've now got 3 old mobiles taking up space in a draw - have just check out envirophone site and they'll give me about £40 for them. Not much but better then nothing.

Will probably sell the shuffle for £30 so that almost covers the down payment on the iphone.

Got up really late today! I'd left both alarms (yep, I have 2 alarms - an alarm-clock and mobile) set at my weekend time of 9am and forgot to reset to 7am last night... Good job I'm on flexi and can wander in about 11ish :-)

On a side note, have just noticed I'm already at the 125% mark... Can't believe it's already been a quarter of a year since I completed the 365!!!!!!!!
Wow, I love the building. Well seen, by the way :)

Nice snap. I... I do the dual alarm thing too. I stagger them so there's a backup!

Love the way life speaks to us when we 'look'! Great pic.
January 25th, 2011  
nice one Andy, What is it an ad for, or is it even an ad, maybe it is just a proclamation!! congrats on 125% does seem like only yesterday that you were at 100%
January 25th, 2011  
Ha, once you get an iphone you will never be without. Love this shot, the perspective is great and the Lloyds building looks like something out of the Matrix !
January 25th, 2011  
Too good an opportunity there to overlook...obviously! The color, composition and message play nicely together! Loved your note about "a lot of catching up"...I'm finally home, but faced with a lot I *should* do before sitting at the computer. (See how well I'm handling that?!)
January 25th, 2011  
Great night shot...the blue light is especially cool. I just bought a second phone yesterday to accomodate the SIM card shuffle I have to do as we are now spread over 3 different countries...it was the cheapest simplest nokia I could find though...it doesnt pay to have anything more here as it just invites attention and often that attention carries a gun!
January 26th, 2011  
thank you guys.... @Weezilou good to see you're back... look forward to seeing more pics of your travels.. @palusami it's taken me ages to buy into the flash phone thing... just had a bog-standard phone but finally decided to see what these smart-phones are all about...
